Antivirals Flashcards
influenza drug classes
M2 inhibitor, NA inhibitor
M2 inhibitor drugs
amantadine, rimadine
amantadine MOA, MOR, spectrum, adverse
increase viral uncoating, inhibit replication. resistance is easy, flu A, TOXIC cns
rimadine
less toxic then amantadine but otherwise same
NA inhibitor drugs
oseltamir (tamiflu) and Zanamivir
NA inhibitor MOA
block release of viral particlse
NA inhibitor resistance
less
Oseltamir adverse
GI
Zanamivir side effect
bronchospasm
Acyclovir MOA
chain termination of viral DNA
Acyclovir MOR
decrease viral kinase, alternate binding, (really only in immune suppressed)
Acyclovir spectrum
Hsv, vzv
Acyclovir adverse
nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity (hallucinations)
gancyclovir MOA
block DNA pol (indirect)
gancyclovir MOR
CMB UL97 alteration
gancyclovir Spectrum
CMV
gancyclovir adverse
leukopenia, nephrotoxicity
foscarnet MOA
direct DNA pol inhibition
foscarnet spectrum
CMV/HSV
foscarnet clinical
only use in resistant
foscarnet adverse
very toxic
cidofavir MOA
Direct DNa pol inhibition
cidofavir spectrum
- CMV, adenovirus, smallpox
cidofavir adverse
MOST TOXIC
